Hi. I am new to this listserv, so I apolagize if this question has been recently asked. I am currently working on the first phase of the Women's Suffrage Digitization Project for the Rochester Regional Library Council (NY). Members of the council are currently discussing archival storage options. As we live in Rochester, NY, home of Eastman Kodak, there is actually some "pressure" to use Photo CD technology. While I have conducted an exhaustive search for information on CD storage v. Photo CD storage (i.e. - comparisons of longevity, obsolesence, storage capactiy, etc.), I have not been able to find anything that does a direct comparison of the two, or even articles on the individual technologies that discusses the same issues so that I can make a direct comparison. I would appreciate any input on the comparison between the two. Thanks in advance.Rosemary Finn
